THEÂ PROCESS
1. Inspection
The first step in determining the value of a vehicle is an inspection. Â An accurate evaluation of the car’s condition is critical in terms of pricing and developing a sales plan. Â We pride ourselves on representing our vehicles accurately as it is ultimately in the best interest of both parties. Â We’ll perform a 32 step inspection and review it with the client to determine a sales plan.
2. Appraisal
Using valuation resources (see links below) we research your car’s value. To fully understand the market, we rely on recent auction results, comparable cars, and general market conditions.
3. Market the Vehicle
We detail the car, take photographs, write the ad, and market the car to its target audience. We place the ad on our website (and two others) and show the car to potential buyers in our showroom, or at local cruise nights. You can also choose sell the car through an online auction. Check out our Listings page to see some of the cars currently for sale.
